Greeting reminder
If you frequently change the greeting, use this option; it sets the mailbox to remind you of the current
greeting. The first time you use your phone after it has been idle (for the period you set in this function), the
system automatically plays the current greeting (and gives you the option to change it). The range is 0 (no
reminder) to 500 hours. To set this, press PROG/HELP 3 2.
Example: If you change the greeting only when out of town for a few days, set the reminder interval to 60
hours; you’ll be reminded if the mailbox has not been used for three days. If it’s Friday, set the
reminder for 36 hours and you will be reminded the upcoming Monday morning or if you are away
for a couple of days. If you change your greeting several times a day, set the reminder for about 3
hours.
Headset operation
You can use a 24-Key Feature Phone with a headset connected to the handset jack. You must have a
headset key programmed as one of your programmable feature keys (see “Other feature keys,” page
C.2) that you’ll use to connect or disconnect from a call. The key will blink green when a call is ringing
and glow green when connected.
You turn Headset Mode on or off as part of user programming (PROG/HELP 3 3).
Outside dial tone preference
If you make mostly outside calls, you may find this setting helpful. It tells your station to connect
automatically to an available outside line; i.e., you don’t have to dial 9 (or 8 or 7) before the phone
number. Therefore, when you lift the handset or press SPEAKER, you will immediately receive an
outside dial tone from the highest-numbered line available to you.

Note: To place an internal call while in this mode, press the appropriate station key or (a.) press TRANSFER
to switch to internal dial tone and (b.) then dial the extension number.

This aspect (
i.e.
, that it’s always the highest line available to you) can’t be changed.
